  • I also did not understand the question, so I googled "kaballah in shechita". Found this

    http://www.jta.org/2013/11/21/life-religion/kosher-slaughter-in-the-backyard

    Seems to imply "do it yourself shechitah", kosher slaughter in the backyard. Is this what you are asking?

  • Is there a specific kind of Kabbalah in Shechita that you seek? – Double AA Jul 29 '15 at 16:28

  • The Do it yourself is actually quite a problem. Today it is forbidden to eat from shochet who hasn't received kabbala – user9841 Jul 29 '15 at 18:35
  • 9841, the article that @Dennis linked to mentioned that the DIY people did get kabalah from someone – MTL Jul 29 '15 at 20:57

  • A list of specific rabbis will go out of date over time; a better formulation of this question would be "how can I find?". That way, if there are referral services, professional organizations, etc, people could point to those and you could use that information to find a specific person. – Monica Cellio Dec 16 '16 at 16:11

Certification for shechitah is known as a "kabalah", not (directly) related to "Jewish mysticism."

I recall seeing a sign advertising lessons that would culminate in an exam/certification from either Rabbi Yisroel Belsky in Brooklyn (who is on OU Kosher's policy panel), or a name in Lakewood I'm afraid I didn't recognize. At least that's one name for you ...
